Was Jesus a palestinian?
In this conflict, many people primarily focus on issues of land or security. However, I want to discuss the concept of "wars of narratives." It is no secret that palestinians and their supporters often attempt to appropriate Jewish culture and historical, religious heritage.
A primary example of this is the claim that Jesus Christ was a palestinian. Yet, people do not realize that this assertion has two sides.
- It undermines the legitimacy of Jesus as the Messiah because, according to the Bible, the Messiah is a person who is a descendant of King David through his son King Solomon. How can he be considered the Christian Messiah if he is a palestinian and not an Israeli? And how palestinias feel that they are not real Arabs and not descendants of Ishmael?
I don’t think most supporters of palestine genuinely care about this argument, as many of them are Muslims or atheists who harbor animosity towards Christianity. So let’s consider the second side.
- If Jesus Christ was a palestinian, then it logically follows that Judas Iscariot was also a palestinian. The crowd that shouted, "His blood be on us and on our children," was also palestinian. The judge who sentenced Jesus to death was also a palestinian. Therefore, we must acknowledge that it was palestinians who killed Jesus.
Don't the palestinians want to apologize to the Jewish people before the world for being blamed for the murder of Jesus when it was not the Jews but the palestinians? Why do palestinians shift their crimes onto others?
And what do Christian people think when muslims and marxsits try to rewrite their religion and basics of legitimatin of Jesus as a Messiah?
